ESPN Matchup Predictor: 30% chance to win

Wake won their first matchup in the ACC Tournament, but if they want to keep the hope of making the NCAA Tournament alive, they will have to beat a top 20 defensive team in the Clemson Tigers today. Clemson finished the regular season losing 5 of their final 7 games, including a loss to Wake Forest less than a month ago. To beat the Tigers, the Deacs are probably going to need more from star player Juke Harris—I doubt Wake will be able to overcome another 10 point performance on 16% shooting from the floor.

Go Deacs!
